Nothing on this?  I assume the code below is specific to LaTeX?

I just need to tell ConTeXt to use a different font 
(MinionPro-Regular-FN-8y.tfm, which I am naming MinionPro-FN) for the 
footnote marker, and not to raise and shrink it (since the font has 
superior figures)....

=======================

While we're on footnotes, how would one change the footnote marker font?

I found this code that I can use in a LaTeX font .sty file, which tells 
the system to use a special virtual font (called "fn") that maps the 
superior digits into the standard figure slots:

\makeatletter
\def\@makefnmark{\hbox{\fontshape{fn}\selectfont\@thefnmark}}
\makeatother

How would I do something similar with ConTeXt?
